Seattle Adult Entertainment: Tacoma Police apply latest technology to fight crime

Posted on November 25th, 2009 in Seattle adult entertainment by seattlesleuth

Lieutenants in charge of TPD’s four sectors have identified their critical data and training needs.
“We are always looking for the most progressive, efficient way of doing business,” she said.
TPD received $435,000 in federal funding from a Crime Early Warning System (CEWS) grant.
Officers have laptop computers in their patrol cars. The idea behind CEWS is to alert them to emerging crime trends. When a trend is detected, supervisors would send an e-mail to officers on patrols. The officer would click on a link in the e-mail and view data.
In the near future, officers will be able to pull up information on a variety of topics, such as the number of calls for service for a particular address, or whether someone being questioned has a court order to avoid areas of prostitution or drug activity.
